    Might be kind of long, you'd have to check the specs.

    I have looked into them, at the time I was set on getting an actual Isofrane... but I have rethought that after trying Robert's. Crafter Blue has a similar ISO style, plus some others... none of the others really did it for me style wise. I'm picky.

    I know it looks awkward when the strap is laid out flat but it blends well when the strap is around my wrist. This case has very long lugs, they look almost like fangs. The way the strap extends out helps to counter and blend to the lug length.
